Obstacles to Godliness

Fruit of the Spirit: Who Has Them!

Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

The fruit are character qualities not works, but the character qualities produce right works.

Manipulators Come; Ignore Them

Anyone afraid to tell the truth because someone will accuse you of judging?

Remember that judging the matters of life is good and normal. Any attempt to foster guilt in someone because they have taken a stand for righteousness is merely intimidation to manipulate someone into silence.

DON'T FALL FOR IT!

One of the devil's favorite tactic is to make us doubt our convictions or right to express them.

Notice that nearly all liberals say whatever they want, but are enraged when we the redeemed of God say anything they don't want to hear.

Ignore their tactics, continue to speak and remove yourselves from them when they refuse truth.

Matthew 10:13-15 "…13 If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.…"

Judging Abortion!

A facebook brother made a comment that others were accusing him of judging, here was my answer to that thread;

"God commanded us to judge righteously. When I am accused of judging I simply say, not I, but I am telling you God's judgment.

To answer your question, no I do not believe a Christian walking with Christ could vote for someone who thinks that babies are non-persons and worthy of torturous dismembering of an innocent child while still alive in it's mother's womb.

Hillary is the kind of person who would have voted for the Dred Scott decision in the 1800's that declared "negros" as non-persons, leaving owners to do whatever they wanted to them because they had no rights.

Accusing someone of judging is a judgment of it's own. It is not possible to go through life without making choices about actions and beliefs. I am never ashamed of calling something what it is and no one will use the manipulation that declares me bad, mean or evil for deciding if something is right or wrong."
